The easiest and first thing to check is battery voltage with bike running. Should be at least 13.8 depending on year of bike.. Newer models usually are closer to that number.. If it's over about 12.5 vdc when running you may have ground issue. If it's closer to 12 likely a stator or regulator issue.
